Was very nice there. The restrooms were very clean and neat. It is a well-kept camping ground. Had a nice playground. My great-granddaughter wanted to show me she enjoyed herself so. As I was only visiting there for one day but the rest of the family was camping there and they really liked it and was coming back.

Great potential, little effort or investment. Worse smelling and hardest well water ever experienced.

Great potential, little effort or investment. Worse smelling and hardest well water ever experienced. Constant sewer smell from vent pipe for sewage tank at restrooms…never experienced this at any other campground past 50 years. Sites at east end are so rough that you need 4x4 at the end of your table to be level enough so your food doesn’t roll off; roots of trees at these sites are so much exposed that people are constantly tripping over them…JUST PUT A FEW LOADS OF DIRT AT THOSE SITES AND LEVEL IT OUT. Eight (8) sites per water station…unreal…run more water lines! For several years these and other issues have continued to be ignored but rates continue to escalate significantly. Pretty park, but poorly managed…what a shame Mayor Ray!

The site we were told to go to had dog crap all over it. Site was very small. Water was only fit to flush the black tank. To top it off the first site we setup on was empty all weekend.

This campground is a diamond in the rough but needs a solid management plan. Office is very rarely staffed so be prepared to call them if you need assistance. They've talked about potential improvements coming so we'll see if it pans out.
